As an application example of this compact laser system we present further progress on glass welding. Ultrashort laser pulses enable local bulk modifications in glass as well as controlled melting via heat accumulation. Improved glass welding using optimized energy modulation of successive laser pulses from our advanced TruMicro Series 2000 platform are discussed. The approach for joining brittle materials provides long-term stable and gas-tight joints. |
